To Liz

Dear Liz,

Yesterday it snowed. Oh, and you got married! You were a beautiful bride and the ceremony was so sweet. Thank you for letting me be part of your wedding. You did such a great job preparing everything and we had so much fun. I loved getting to catch up with old friends and meeting people who know you from different parts of your life. You are loved by so many! This, of course, does not surprise me in the least. You are one of the most joyful people I know and your joy is contagious! I'm sure this is just one of the many reasons J.R. loves you.
Your love for people and heart for God are some of your most beautiful qualities. My favorite thing the pastor said during the ceremony was when he charged J.R. to beautify you with his love. I cannot wait to see how the Lord works in your lives and accomplishes this. You are already so wonderful, it is hard to imagine!
I am so excited for you to be settled and have a home! It will be such a happy place and one of hospitality and comfort. I have loved living with you the last several months and am so thankful for your friendship. I am simply trying not to think about the empty room next to me. Who knew all those years ago when we were just Slingy and Sunmaid that I would have the privilege of sharing in your marriage. I am praying that the Lord blesses you and J.R. in everything. Enjoy Mexico!

Love,
S
